This is love...

Pure LOVE! The vintage Oscar de la Renta jumpsuit is just simple but perfect. And the tulle dress is irresistible (check out those shoes!). Who can ever say no to tulle of any kind? I know i can't.

both from The Urban Collection fall collection.

Disposable dress?

When I came across this post by Stephie of Fashionation, i was intrigued. I've heard of paper dolls and I know it comes with removable paper dresses for little girls to play with. But Paper dresses for you and me? Now, that's a first.

I did a search on ebay for more patterns of what it looks like and came across the exact same piece that Stephie was introducing from Dustbunny Vintage. I wonder how much they're going for at DBV cause this seller is selling the entire set of 4 by Harry Gordan 1968, in its original packaging at a starting bid of US$499.

Paper clothes were the epitome of the 'throwaway' culture of the 60's, it was an experimental fashion. It originally appeared in Australia in 1967, and paper outfits were stocked in several stores but consumers were skeptical about the quality and functionality of these clothes. Two years later the look returned but it was never took off. An example is the infamous Andy Warhol inspired pop-art paper souper dress - a wood pulp and cotton dress screen printed with campbell's soup tins. And of course another example would be the Harry Gordon's Poster dress which comes in a set of 5. These dresses are made to be worn only once or twice and then disposed away. There were a couple others on ebay, but just not as cool as this series.

The thought of paper dresses fascinates me but the idea of it, I'm skeptical too. But can you imagine the silhouette  these paper dresses will give? I'm so gonna love it! It's definitely a collectors item for vintage lovers.

A is for Apple

On my way home from work yesterday, i spotted this little girl with the most adorable pair of shoes. It's a colorful apple printed mary janes. The apple prints aren't clear due to my lousy camera phone but it's oh so adorable! I couldn't resist snapping a picture of it. If only it came in my size...

Print me silly

Pretty prints are harder to find this season, and these are some lovely pieces on ebay

Happenings: Bigger and Better!

It's no longer a secret, the long awaited Fash-Bash is back! Received it in the mail a week ago, and now we've gotten hold of the stall listing. The girls are back and it's gonna be a blast. I've been to every single one since the Nafa days, I am so looking forward to the hansel past season pieces and their $10 bargain buys! I know where my GST rebate will be going to this month!

It's gonna be a fashion jungle so gear up for the long awaited event. It's about time i say!

Fall in love

I finally understand my affection for Fall, coats and everything else that comes along with the season. When i was younger, my mum used to dress me in oversized knits paired with psychedelic leggings during the monsoon months, I was hell of a hip kid (mummy had great taste!). That warmth and feeling fabulously as a kid has been buried inside me for the longest time. And of late, I've learn to appreciate clothes and the seasons, and that feeling is just waiting to be unleashed. 

With the recent downpours, I'd wake up with a bright lit on my face (even when i dread going to work). I'd pull out my thicker knits and tights out to play. I'm terribly afraid of the heat, i'd avoid tights at all cost during those weather. Unfortunately, even thou with my scope of work, i find brightly colored tights (my new obsession) unsuitable for this office environment (there's still black, grey and eggplant). This is the best time for laying and still feeling cosy and warm throughout. Reminiscing my childhood days all over again.. 

I started doodling, and decided to give it a go of what I'm wearing on Friday. I'm wearing my new fire engine red vintage shoes from ebay! Got them in the post on Thursday and I was grinning with glee when I saw them. They're just perfect! And in mint condition too. I forgot to add the blazer i'm wearing in the drawing, opps.
